Bank of America (BofA) was hit with an outage on Wednesday afternoon that left some customer accounts showing a balance of zero.
The issue began around 12:47 p.m., according to Downdetector, which monitors tech disruptions.
One user on X reported their account balances were showing $0, but a phone call to BofA’s automated phone lines delivered the correct balances.
The bank’s help line account on X was directing customers to an automated link to request help.
BofA is the second-largest U.S. bank behind JPMorgan and serves 69 million domestic consumer and small business clients.
In a statement to FOX Business, the company said:
"Some clients are experiencing an issue accessing their accounts and balance information today. These issues are being addressed and have largely been resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience."
